SEWER-TRAP AND CESSPOGL.

GPEC'FCATIOIT ica-rising part of Letters Patent 1530.325231, dated September l, 1885.

Application filed September 15, LSSI. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, t may] concern:

Be it known that I, HowARD G. BADGLEY, of the city of New York, in the county and State of New York, and a citizen ofthe United States of America, have invented a new and useful lmprovenient in Sewer-Traps'and Cess pool-Boxes, ol' which the following is a speci iication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of the same, in which- Figure lis a vertical section of a trap or box embodying my invention on linexx, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same on line ,i/ y, Fig. l, showing thepartition hereinafter described in elevation.

My .invention relates to watertraps connected with Ysewers or cesspool-boxes; and it consists in the combinations of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

A. is the body ofthe trap, which may be of any suitable forni or material. The one shown has a rectangular base, ci, and vertical sides rf. o a", the fourth side, ffl, being preferably vertical for a portion ofitslength, then extending in an oblique direction toward the side a for about haltthe width of the body of the trap, and then directly upward for a short distance until it reaches the height of the side e. a and e are of a forni and size adapted te inclose the space between a and a2 and leave an aperture, Z), at the top. The side a is provided with au opening, e, preferably ilanged, for connection with the sewerpipe,

and an opening, c', above the opening c, for

connect ion with the ventilating-leader, its position being preferably such that the ventilating-leaderinayextcndtherel'reinslightlybelow the top of the trap.

B is a removable partition which extends from side te side ot' the body of the trap and reaches from the top of the trap to a point somewhat below thc level of the opening e. lt is fitted to forni an airtight joint with the top and sides ofthe trap. rlhis is preferably F secured by forming grooves in the side walls,

a" u", as shown in lfig. il, and partially filling said grooves with red lead before inserting the partition. l usually make the partition the full length of the trap and provide openings extending from below the level of opening e to or near the bottoni of the trap, as seen in Figa-2.

This partition, it is obvious, divides the body of the trap into two chambers, A and A, having open communication at the bottoni.

C is the cover, formed preferably with a rabbet around its edge, so that it will tit closely into and upon the top of the trap. This cover has a strainer, D, preferably provided with a screwthread that-screws into athreaded opening in said cover, and lugs d el are formed on the under side of the cover of the trap, and also on the sides of the trap, the latter, d', being pierced with holes and arranged in such relative positions to those on the cover, which have the forni of pins, that said pins (Z will fit into the holesin d, where they niay be secured by a pin or nut or any other suitable means.

The strainer D, being removable, enables a workman to easily reach and unfasten the cover from the trap when necessary, while it is securely attached at all other times, and the fastenings are entirely out of the way of per sons passing over the trap, which is intended to be placed in the ground with theeoverlevel with its surface.

Tater entering into the trap through the strainer rises in both chambers until it reaches the level of the opening e, and thereafterllows oft' into the sewer, while all gas and foul odors are prevented by the waterseal at the bottoni of the trap and the partition above it from passing into and escaltiing through chamber A', but naturally pass oftI through opening c in chamber A? to the ventilatiugleader.

rlhe partition B being easily removed permits the sewer-conuection and the trap itself to be readily cleared of any obstruct-ion without taking up the trap.

I do not limit myself to the exact form or arrangement of the parts, as they maybe considerably varied without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Vhat I. claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

il.. The combination, with a sewcrlrap provided with a lug or lugs on the inside nearits top, ot' a cover having an opening adapted to receive a removable strainer and provided with means for securing said cover to the lugs inside of the trap, the same being so located as to be accessible through the opening in the cover, as and for the purpose specified.

2. A sewcntrap divided into two chambers,

with open communication between them at or near one end, one of said chambers being provided with an inlet above the level of said opening, and the other chamber being provided with an outlet above the level of said opening and below the level of the inlet in the first chamber and a second outlet above the level ofthe first outlet, as and for the purpose speciiied.

3. A sewer-trap divided into two chambers by a removable partition, with open Communication between them at or near one end, one of said chambers being provided with an inlet above the level of said opening, and the other chamber being provided with an outlet above the level of said opening and below the level ofthe 'opening` in the first chamber, as and for the purpose specified.

4. A sewer-trap divided into two chambers by a removable partition, with open Commu- 2o nication between them at or near one end, one of said chambers being provided with an inlet above the level of said openingand the other chamber being provided with an outlet above the level of said opening and below the 25 level ofthe inlet in the first chamber and a sec-ond outlet above the level of the first outlet, all as and for the purpose described.
